The crowd was a little
thin when these guys were playing but everyone was pumped to hear them. I have never seen or heard these guys before,
but I’m open to hearing new metal and happy to encourage up and coming bands.
The vocalist fronted the crowd and confidently said that this is their first
and last song for the night. This had the crowd a bit confused. The band
started and played like they’d never played before. It wasn’t long before I realised that their “first
and last song” was a continuous set. Roughly
30 minutes went by, which was brutal, heavy and melodic all in one. The vocals
were deathly harsh and soft at the same time. The band had the crowd in the
palm of their hands. By the end of their set they had many more new friends and
fans. If you get the chance to see them, do yourself a favour and give them a
go … you won’t be disappointed.

These Novocastrians played a very tight and fast,
straight up set of death metal. They played a couple of news songs which were
brutal and heavy. The music was so heavy
and brutal it felt like being punched in the face. I saw these guys last year and tonight’s gig
was even better then the last. There were quite a few people who had never
heard of these guys, but by the end of their set, they were all new fans. It’s
very clear that these guys are getting better and better as time passes. I’m looking forward to the release of their
new album due out later this year. From what they played tonight, their new songs
will be just as brutal and heavy as their previous. If you get the chance to see “The Seer” live at
your loval “watering hole” then do it, they put on a great show.

I didn’t know what to
expect from these guys, as I’d never heard of them before … probably because I
couldn’t pronounce the name of the band. When these guys got started they had
the crowd by the balls and had them pumped.
They had everyone “head-banging”, laughing and generally having a great
time. They were a lot of fun but in a
brutal way. It was like being hit by a
bus. These guys are straight up heavy and crazy, in a nice way, with lost of
laughs. This band to me is a mix between King Parrot and Cattle Decapitation,
and from my part, you can’t go wrong there. The lead vocalist was a real crowd
pleaser. His vocal range was amazing and
between songs his humorous attitude was hilarious. The band had the crowd eating out of their
hands. I definitely want to see these guys again and I recommend that if you
get the chance, then you should see them too.

Another first time for
me. This was the first time I’ve been
able these guys. Previously, every time
I’ve tried to see them, something came up … but not tonight. This gig is
apparently the vocalist’s last ever live gig with this band. I’m not sure why, as they didn’t go into it.
So the rest of the guys in the band sent him out with a huge bang, as did the crowd.
Many of the crowd members “booed” because he was leaving, but were pumped for a
brutal set. These guys were tight, heavy
and exactly what I was expecting, just in your face death metal. The music was fast, loud, furious and the
lyrics were presented by a very talented vocalist. It’s a shame that this was my first and only
gig with this vocalist before he left. I can’t wait until they start again with
their new vocalist. I will definitely be there for that.

I was really looking
forward to this Norse gig, as it was the first time with their new line up. I have only seen Norse with the old line up,
so I wasn’t to sure what to expect with this new line up. All I knew was that they wouldn’t disappoint.
I can honestly say that they didn’t disappoint either. Norse played a brutal set with uncompromising
technical style and gruelling vocals. Considering
it was their first gig, they put on a great show. Give them a few more gigs under their belt
and the look out. They played nearly all of All is Mist and Fog, plus a couple
of others, which the crowd ate up. Judging
by the crowd, they loved every bit of this set. Norse were brilliant tonight
and didn’t miss a beat. I can’t wait to
see them after a couple more gigs with the new line up. These guys are only
going to get better and I wish them all the best with the new line up.

Overall the night was fantastic. I got to enjoy a few cold beers with good friends while listening to some great new metal, from bands that have a big future. I look forward to their CD's being released soon.
